The robbery occurred about 7:10 p.m. at Papa Murphy's, 2024 Sixth Ave., Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum said Tuesday. The bandit robbed the employees, then fled. No one was hurt. A police dog searched for the robber but did not find him.Clearly, One More Day has scarred Spidey more than any of us realized. Plus, this is just after Spider-Man robbed a bank in Southlake, TX -- that's him on a Bank of America security cam above. From the Star-Telegram:
Bank of America employees told police Friday that two men wearing Spider-Man masks had robbed the bank. But after reviewing photos from security cameras, FBI investigators now think one robber was a Spider-Woman, police said Wednesday.
The robbers entered the bank in the 2000 block of West Southlake Boulevard about 9:30 a.m. One jumped onto a counter and the other threatened employees and customers with a handgun.
Not that I believe Jessica Drew is necessarily innocent, but didn't Ben Reilly just start popping back up in the comics? Are we sure this isn't a new part of the clone saga? And furthermore, how the fuck did Spider-Man webswing from Texas to Washington? There's like over 2000 miles, and I don't know how many tall buildings are really on the way.

Spidey stole an Avengers quinjet. That's how he made the robberies.

There was something over at the Daily What yesterday about Chewbacca assaulting a couple of women and Batman breaking out a car window. These pop culture icons are just getting entirely out of control! I demand the register with the Government!

As a Washington State resident, I am not the least bit surprised this happened in Tacoma.
ragdoll replied to Benne:
As a fellow WA resident, I agree wholeheartedly, and would like to add that I'm surprised that he wasn't also busted for meth because this is Tacoma.

See?
I KNEW Ben Reilly was a douche!
Maybe he's stealing money to pay me back
the fuck-ton of money I spent in the 90's
collecting the whole clone saga series.
Maybe its Spidercide in disguise!

this is just another sign that icons like spider man have gone to the dark side and even the economy has hit them so much they have to resort to robbing banks. that plus some ones love of spider man taken to a whole new level of wrong.

It's because all the halloween costumes were 90% off at Target. "Hrmm.. I want to rob a store. Oh! Spiderman Adult costume, $3.85. Done!"

As a person who used to work at a Papa Murphy's I personally thank that one Spiderman who robbed them.
Barry said:
Do you think that when he demanded the money he might have sounded like the Spiderman from "The Electric Company"?
Damn I'm old.
Valkor said:

Clearly, we should ban comic books so kids don't grow up to have ideas to disguise themselves as a comic book character and commit crimes. I mean, really. If Spidey never existed, this guy wouldn't have that disguise and would have probably found another, more socially acceptable, way to solve whatever financial problems he obviously has.
DoctorSmashy said:
If Spiderman needed to rob a bank then why would he do it.... as Spiderman.
ZeroCorpse replied to DoctorSmashy:
Good point.
He'd dress up as Batman.
ZeroCorpse said:
No, Ben Reilly's not back in the comics. He's dead. Dead dead deadski. They were doing some flashbacks to him in the time before he took over as Spider-Man, though. Kaine came back, but Ben is still dust in the wind.
